   * Jumpdrive: The earliest form of interstellar travel is really not used anymore. It uses another dimension that is closer to our dimension than hyperspace.
     * The jump space is a place of "nothingness" where nothing can be seen or sensed. Everything in the electromagnetic spectrum is heavily dampened. Vision takes double range penalties, radios have 10% normal range and so on.

     * Technically the Jumpdrive is fairly easy to do with TL 7 technology, but getting to the jump points and traveling between such is difficult at such low TL. Lowest practical TL is 8.
     * Life pods, people in space suits,debris and similar will just exit at the other end when the time comes. Thus being separated from the ship you will be fine if you have enough oxygen and food to last until you get out and then you can radio for help..
-    * The new built imperial [[Message drone]]s use jump space as hyperspace navigation is not possible for computers alone, but given a map of jump routes jup space navigation is simple 3D navigation to get to the jump point.

     * They work between any two such gates at a distance of slightly over 300 parsecs.

-Reactionless drives come in three main types: They are limited in the total % of light speed they work at, most start to lose efficiency at about 3-4% of light speed and reach zero acceleration at approximately 5-6%. Some specially designed drives can reach up to 10%.
+Reactionless drives are based on the same phenomena as hyper space travel and come in three main types:
     * Cold reactionless drives; Late TL 9:Have acceleration of 10g*their mass(0.5g in the standard 5% of ship mass base). They are fairly efficient and do not create significant signature. At TL 10 their efficiency is doubled.
     * Hot reactionless drives; Late TL 9:Have acceleration of 20g*their mass(1g in the standard 5% of ship mass base). They are fairly inefficient and  create a significant heat signature. At TL 10 their efficiency is doubled.
     * Improved reactionless drives: Available TL 11: Have acceleration of 200g*their mass(10g in the standard 5% of ship mass base). They are fairly efficient and do not create significant signature. Normally limited to 10g due to the limited gravity compensation available, some fighter craft have up to 30g acceleration, causing 20g felt gravity(causing HT rolls at base -6, but normally +9 from the advanced g-suit and position.).
+They are limited in the total % of light speed they work at, The first generation reactionless thrusters could not quite make the 0.01c hyperspace limit and early hyper ships had to carry a reaction thruster to reach the last 1-2% of th threshold. But by mature TL 9 technology they could reach it, but would start to loose efficiency at about 80% of that and dropping to no acceleration at about 120%. Typical TL 10 thrusters keep full effect to the hyper threshold but start to lose efficiency quickly after that dropping to no acceleration by 2% of speed of light. By TL 11, they only start to lose efficiency at about 2% dropping to no acceleration by 3%.   Badly tuned drives start to lose effectiveness much earlier, but do not tend to lose as much maximum speed.

     * They have a limited use time until the collected heat/radiation must be dumped out. Though the dump can be done in a smaller arc still providing protection from other angles.
     * These limitation cause most scout ships, warships and similar to also have chameleon surfaces, radar stealth and similar things.
-    * They are harder and hard to build as the size protected increases. The currently in the empire basic cost applies up to 300 tons, with 4* cost up to 3000 tons and 20* cost up to 10 000 tons, 100* cost up to 30 000 tons. So only only scouts are likely to be mass produced with such.
